Upper Achintore Local Lettings Initiative Application for Essential and Key Workers

This secondary application is to assess the housing need for identified essential and key workers, an application does not constitute an offer of housing which will be subject to an assessment of need.

All applications will require a Highland Housing Register (HHR) application, and all offers of housing will be based on this and the general principles of the HHR process agreed by partner landlords in the Highlands. If you have not made a HHR application you must do so at this link and choose LHA as the holding offfice. This must be done before completing this application as you will need your HHR reference number.

Your completed application will be considered as a note of interest and be used to assess housing need for allocating any properties identified for essential and key workers.

All applications and information gathered will be done so in line with LHA's Privacy Statement.

If you require any assitance to complete or wish to know more please contact us housingmgt@lochaberhousing.org.uk or call 01397 702530.
